Yes I can stop smoking and have done so many times. I have gone without for a week (too many times to count), a month (many times), 4 months, and I have quit twice long term, once for a year and another time for 2 and half years. If I was addicted there's no way I'd be able to do that. I can also go without eating fruit, veg, snacks, meat, you name it. I can go without cigarettes for longer than I can go without chocolate, in fact there's no contest. How do you reconcile all of that with your idea that cigarettes per se are addictive?
I'm convinced! cigarettes aren't addictive, because some random person on the internet can avoid smoking them for long periods of time and then go right back to smoking them. I'm also going to live forever; so far so good. The mountains of data that suggest that cigarettes ARE addictive and that nobody lives forever are wrong. Thank you Scarface, I am enlightened. /sarcasm
Do you really want to argue that cigarettes aren't addictive?
